You woke up in an unfamiliar room with a small interior. You found comfort under the sheets of the soft double bed you were currently lying on compared to the not-so-comfy, worn-out single bed you used to sleep in back at your house.

Were you scared that you are currently in a stranger's room? Nope. What mattered to you at the moment was the warmth of the soft bed you found comfort in, as well as the thought of being away from your father's wrath.

Scrutinising your surroundings, you spotted a small gift box on top of the bedside table at your right. Beside it, there also is a cute shimmery green party hat with purple stripes spiraling throughout it, finishing off with a white pompom on top.

Cute, you thought.

You then sat up straight, using your elbow for support. You winced at the sudden pain, realizing that you have a bruise on your elbow. Looking down at your body, you were quite surprised to find out that all your wounds and bruises were aided. Though, pressing on a bruise didn't help but make you feel the tenderness.

Looking down at the wooden floor, you noticed a bunch of confetti scattered around. Upon spotting a string seemingly floating by the corner, you looked up to spot a decorative green helium ballon at the ceiling.

Suddenly, you heard a click of a doorknob followed by footsteps which, judging by how they get louder each second, seemed to be coming towards the room you're in.

You were greeted with the same peach hair before you had lost your consciousness except, it was now mostly covered with a knitted beanie.

Your eyes then landed on his face and you were amazed by his flawless, beautiful yet handsomely-cute features. He gave you a wide grin which you found amusing by how his mouth turned to resemble a box.

"Hi!", he greeted you with a voice surprisingly deeper than what you expected from a cute face like him.

With that face combined with the cheerfulness in his tone, a smile instantly crept into your lips.

"Hi, I um- thanks for, s-saving me you know, that time-"

His cute chuckle cut you off. "Awhile ago was no problem! Besides, you were knocked out cold. Oh, how's the heater by the way? All warmed up now, huh? Oh yes, good afternoon to you too!", he beamed.

This is one cheerful boy.

"Yes, thank you so much. Also, for getting me patched up, thank you."

He smiled as a response.

"Do you have a family?", he asked.

"It would be best for me not to go to them.", you replied almost instantly.

"I see", he nodded in understandment. "What's your name?", he asks.

"Y/N"

"Nice to meet you, Y/N! I'm Taehyung, but you could call me V.", he replies, boxy grin returning instantly. "Since you clearly need rest, I'm offering you my little room to stay in while you recover. Don't worry, I'll be staying in the living room while you're at it aaand if ever you feel hungry or need anything, I'm right outside on the couch chilling with some chips", he rapped out but it was still quite slow and clear enough for you to catch everything.

"Are you into rapping?", you chuckled out.

"I have a passion for it", he said smiling.

You smiled once again to that. It has been so long since you have been able to smile genuinely. The sudden joy Taehyung was giving you is utterly heart-warming.

He waved and was already heading out when you called for him.

"Taehyung?"

He looked back at you.

"Happy Birthday", you greeted him with a smile.

His eyes widened as if he was in utter amazement. "How'd you know?!", he said.

"With all the party decorations in this room, how could it be any more obvious?", you laughed heartily, both at his expression and matching amazement in his tone.

"Thank you, Y/N", he replied, flashing you with his boxy grin one last time before disappearing into his living room.

Glancing at the digital clock on the bedside table, it displayed 4:00 PM, December 30, 2013. You smiled to yourself upon remembering a brand new date you surely would mark both in your heart and mind.

December 30, 2013, the day I woke up to meeting my angel who went by with the name 'Taehyung'.
